Midwest Rake Company 11036 Screening Rake

If you like raking as much as I do, you will likely enjoy raking with this rake.When you cast the rake out in front of you and pull it towards you, material on the ground is moved towards you. It's a satisfying product in this sense, almost magical.It also appears to be an effective tool for keeping zombies and zoned out meth heads at bay. I will update my review as I have more experience in this area.Nothing has fallen off this rake, and that includes the attractive paint. No gripes about hand grip. General hand feel and weight are good to good+.

We have a lake front sandy beach but we periodically need to pull weeds to keep he vegetation from growing in. After weeding manually I wait a day and use this rake to sift through the sand to remove the dried plants and roots that got left behind during weeding. This rake works very well for that. The straight edge blade also works well for pushing sand. I use it for leveling after my kids are done digging holes for their sand castle building.The rake seems well constructed although I'm not a commercial user of it. The aluminum handle with rubber grip are comfortable to use. Very satisfied with this purchase.

This is a commercial grade rake. The aluminum head is solid and the pole is stiff and strong. The side bracing allows you to really pull through the pine needles and weeds. The teeth are not simply straight but have a dog leg toward the top that helps gather debris. The top side of the head is like an aluminum squeegie and good for smoothing out the sand surface or collecting small materials. This rake would be perfect if there was an extension for the handle or a way to attach a rope for throwing the rake. The hande + head is only around 60" or 5' in length (great for the beach, less great for the water). This means you really need to wade out into the lake to clean the bottom. I may try to rig something up next summer to get a longer reach. Overall, highly recommend as it will last for years.

In Arizona we called them rock rakes for gravel, sand and such. Very sturdy and light weight. Good move on adding braces. Great tool to rip out the snarled. NOBODY borrows it!!03/2022 update: Still works like new…nothing has broken and it’s had it use believe me.03/ 2023 update: Got a workout this past year and still strong as new.

I just built a 6 foot wide path down a steep slope. The soil is pretty rocky and the mini excavator ripped up the path pretty well. After a pass with this tool it looks great. The rake brings the rocks to the surface so the can be removed. It leaves a nice smooth surface. Should have bought one of these years ago.

Excellent tool. High quality. Very well designed combing teeth

It seens to be a solid piece of equipment but It only removes the green muk that builds up on the weeds, it doesn't remove the weeds itself The teeth are too far apart, it just combs right over them

This product is very well made. Handle is sturdy and attaches well to the rake, very easy to assemble and is packaged well. I use this as a sand rake on the beach and it is very effective. Good quality, highly recommend.
